USC is supposed to announce callbacks for BFA tomorrow. They said they’d call back 60.

It was directly after the audition, but while still online in the group. They waiting in a waiting room with all people that auditioned that day, then some were put in a breakout room, and told that they were “called back.” In the breakout room they were able to ask questions and were told them they were “beyond the point of no” and that they would either be accepted or waitlisted.
[sorry - the system wouldn’t let me post for 24 hours - i guess i exceeded the entry limit] And good luck to your son!! Yeah you never can tell… she had a delightful session with Carnegie Mellon and didn’t advance… you never know what they’re looking for in these things. My wife and I wish she’d picked an activity that wasn’t so subjective!!! We’re hoping the reviewer was being challenging to try and shake her, and was impressed by her responses… but you never know!!!

Let me know when you guys hear back!!!
this is a heart attack!!!
Agony! Will it be end of day? Midday? Will we get an email regardless of getting an audition?? I would love it if they did send an email regardless. It just makes things definitive.
Today’s the day! Let me know if anyone hears from USC!!!
I think they send regardless… we’re east coast, so we’ve been checking email since about 6am!!! We have a bunch of schools out in Cali we’re waiting on… this is punishment…
I bet they send emails later in the day then. That’s my guess. We’ll get them around 3:00 and you get them at 6:00?? Just to be one of the 60 called back is impressive!!
Yeah… we hope for the opportunity… USC and UCLA are my daughter’s top choices; she really, really wants CA. We’re praying for the chance to advance. She even stayed home today and did Zoom classes so she could stay on top of it… she has to go in for her VPA’s rehearsal in about 15 minutes, so — Murphy’s Law says we’ll find out in 25 minutes!! 
I’m more a lurker than a poster but since I know everyone is anxious about California schools, my D got an invite for UCLA “interview” just now - was an email through Acceptd. She’s going to be over the moon when she sees it - she applied to mostly vocal performance schools plus a handful of acting BAs (UCLA and USC are her top choices too). The VP process is going pretty well, but of course she now leans toward acting, which has been all waiting with no feedback!

I’m a big lurker but just wanted to confirm that my D also got an email this afternoon from UCLA inviting her for an interview. From your post, it looks like she received it at about the same time as your D did. Exciting!
Do you think an interview might be the final round/step prior to acceptance etc. notification?
Does anyone know what time the USC MT notifications went out last week? I am guessing they’d send around the same time as those?
If you’re asking about the UCLA “interview,” then yes, I think that’s probably the final step in the application process for UCLA - but I’m not 100% sure!!

We did too. Fingers crossed for everyone!
For those who applied to Syracuse, how did you hear back about scheduling an interview/audition? I submit my application for design/tech in late December and haven’t heard anything back yet about scheduling an interview.
